There’s no doubt that motor movers are one of the handiest gadgets around for caravan owners but are they worth the investment and how do you use them?

Read on to discover everything you have ever wanted to know about motor movers......

What is a Motor Mover?

A motor mover is quite simply a motorized device that makes maneuvering your caravan into any tight space easy. It could be the pitch on a caravan site or even your own driveway.

This device can be controlled via a handset and it takes the stress out of precision maneuvering the caravan manually with your car especially if you have a twin-axle caravan which is notoriously difficult to maneuver.

Motor Mover Fitting

Motor movers are relatively simple to install and come with a range of accessories that make fitting them yourself easy. We also offer a fitting service for our customers that is quick and efficient. All of our motor movers come with a user manual.

How Does a Motor Mover Work?

The motor mover is clamped to the caravan chassis and connects to the rollers that are attached to the wheels of the caravan. They can then be used to propel the caravan in any given direction determined by the handset. Powered by the caravan’s battery, the motor mover is ideal to guide the caravan uphill without it rolling backwards.

It can provide traction if the terrain is wet or muddy and makes easy work of precision parking. It is wise to note that a motor mover will add extra weight to your caravan and you should take this into account when calculating the overall weight allowance.
